Explanation:
Use Jensen's alpha of 4.75% and the actual return of 14.2%. The expected return from CAPM must be 14.2% − 4.75% = 9.45%.
Use this value in the CAPM to find the beta of the portfolio.
expected return = risk-free rate + beta × market risk premium
9.45% = 4.25% + β × 6%, therefore β = approximately 0.87
